UXA-90 Humanoid Robot

• Well-proportioned 1m tall humanoid shaped robot
• Fall detection algorithm utilizing a 9-axis IMU sensor
• 300FPS vision processing at 320x240 pixels
• Fully supports soccer mode for Robocup competition
• Walking algorithm for biped humanoid robot with balancing control

The Robobuilder UXA-90 Humanoid Robot is a well-proportioned 1m tall humanoid shaped robot. It has been designed with a structure similar to the ratio of the ideal human body. Since the skeletal structure of the robot imitates the one from a human, it is possible to produce humanlike movement patterns. Because it uses various programming sources, it can be controlled in a lot of different ways. The robot also has pre-programmed emotional gestures and mouth expressions with synchronized sounds.

Provided source files for the whole body design and pre-designed STEP files for exterior and base frame
Users can create a new appearance for the robot using the various pre-designed source files. The source files provide details to assemble the structure such as size, position of devices, bolts and nuts.
